They keep changing the parameters, too. Back when I was a teenager ---I turned 15 in 1969----no one thought of size 12 as 'fat' or 'plus'. It was simply size 12. 'Fat clothes' started at about size 18-20.
Now, everyone got onto the thin bandwagon, thanks to the freakin' insurance companies who are always lookling for a reason to deny coverage. Size 12 has become plus sized. And the average American female is a size 14 according to the last reports.
Size 6 used to be the norm for all models---that was the size of the samples. Now, it's size 0? WTF? Methinks these fuckers are screwing with everyone! LOL!
